  Beyond Midday Breaks: Creating Comfortable Shaded Zones for Workers Outdoor labourers face extreme working conditions that can pose serious health risks during summer. While the midday break, a regulation enforced by the UAE’s Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE), has been a game-changer in protecting workers, simply pausing work from 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM is not enough. Creating well-designed, comfortable shaded zones is crucial to supporting the health, safety, and dignity of every worker. Why Shaded Areas Matter More Than Ever The UAE's summer temperatures can soar well beyond 50°C, and even short exposure to the sun during peak hours can lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion, or worse, heat stroke. The midday break law, in effect from June 15 to September 15, restricts outdoor work during the hottest part of the day. But the impact of the heat doesn't end at 3 PM. Workers still operate in harsh conditions before and after the break. That’s why shaded rest zo...

  Is Your First-Aid Kit Summer Ready? What You Might Be Missing A basic first-aid kit may no longer be enough, especially in labour camps and outdoor  work environments.  As heat-related incidents rise, so does the need for a smarter, better-equipped, and summer-ready first-aid setup. Whether you're a facility manager, HSE supervisor, or camp operations lead, it’s time to revisit your first-aid kit with a summer lens. Why First-Aid Kits Need a Summer Upgrade The standard first-aid kit with antiseptic wipes, bandages, and gauze is designed for general injuries. But summer introduces a different risk profile altogether: heat exhaustion, dehydration, sunburn, and even heatstroke. In labour camps across Abu Dhabi and the UAE, these risks aren’t theoretical; they’re lived realities. A heat-stress emergency can escalate within minutes. Having a well-prepared kit can make a life-saving difference. Key Additions for a Summer-Ready First-Aid Kit Here’s what every UAE-based camp or...

  Heatwave Emergency Plan: What Every Labour Camp Needs in Place When the UAE summer turns brutal, a standard safety checklist isn’t enough. Labour camps and worker housing in Abu Dhabi must be prepared for heatwaves that can last for days and bring temperatures well above 05°C. In these extreme conditions, a reactive approach won’t work. Every camp needs a solid, proactive Heatwave Emergency Plan. Let’s break down what that should look like, why it matters, and how camp managers can stay ahead of the heat. Why a Heatwave Plan is Essential Even with the midday break law in place from June 15 to September 15, sudden heatwaves can push the body beyond safe limits. Dehydration, heatstroke, and even organ failure can occur if workers aren’t given the right protection. While UAE labour regulations mandate basic summer precautions, a true heatwave plan goes beyond compliance. It ensures camps are equipped to respond to emergencies, keep operations safe, and protect lives. To know more ab...

  Working Under the Sun: Smart Summer Tips for Outdoor Laborers Summer doesn’t take it easy on anyone, especially not the thousands of outdoor laborers who brave the scorching sun every single day. With temperatures soaring past 50°C in some areas, working outside during peak summer is more than just uncomfortable; it can be dangerous. That’s why knowing how to protect yourself or your workers during the summer isn’t just helpful, it’s essential. Here are some practical, easy-to-follow tips to stay safe, cool, and healthy while working under the sun. 1. The UAE Summer Challenge Summers in the UAE are intense. The heat doesn’t just drain energy—it can put lives at risk. Heat-related illnesses like heat exhaustion and sunstroke can come on quickly and silently. For laborers spending hours outdoors, it’s not just the heat they need to worry about, but also high humidity, strong sun exposure, and limited access to cooling spaces. That’s why both workers and employers need to understand...
